Staying Strong and Healthy Standing Chest Press

In this video in the Staying Strong and Healthy video series, Dreu White, exercise physiologist at KU Medical Center, teaches proper form for a Standing Chest Press. This video is part of the Staying Strong and Healthy Prostate Cancer intervention.
1. Stance & Stability: Stand feet shoulder-width apart, knees slightly bent, core engaged. This is your power base!
2. Hand Position: Grab the resistance band with an overhand grip, hands wider than shoulders. Keep those wrists straight!
3. Pushing Motion: Press the handles forward, extending arms fully but keep a slight bend in your elbows.
4. Squeeze it! Focus on squeezing your chest muscles for maximum benefit.
5. Modifications: Can't do it standing? Try sitting. Need less resistance? Use a lighter band or shorter length.
Discover practical exercises you can do at home in the Staying Strong and Healthy app and video series. Let’s prioritize health together!
